In this warmhearted tale, readers meet Beth Morris, whose marriage to a bull rider taught her the hard way that home and family come last for thrill-seeking men. So when ruggedly handsome champion rider Trace Barlow shows up at her ranch as a community-sponsored big-brother to her fatherless boy, she is tempted to slam the door in his face. She has no intention of letting this reckless cowboy get anywhere near her impressionable son...or her bruised heart. But that may not be so easy to avoid!
